Discover Marie-Victorin’s hometown and a beautiful garden dedicated to him.

Frère Marie-Victorin (born Conrad Kirouac) was a member of Brothers of the Christian Schools and a noted botanist. He is known as the father of the Botanical Garden of Montreal.

He was born in Kingsey Falls in 1885. A self-taught botanist, Frère Marie-Victorin was the first chair of botany at Université de Montréal and founder of the Institut de Botanique.

The Montréal Botanical Garden was founded in 1931.

In Parc Marie-Victorin, nature is brought to life with giant 3D monocultures and giant metal insects made from recycled materials. Explore six theme gardens on a self-guided or audio-guided tour. Participate in activities and original tastings in their tropical greenhouse, learn about botany, or explore more!
